Questions:

  - Does it work on the same system under ye olde COMMAND.COM?
  - Does it work when invoked as "emacs -q"?
  - Does it work with LFN=n and with LFN=y?
  - What does the following yield in the file `emacs.log':

	 redir -o emacs.log -eo emacs -q

  - Finally, what version of Emacs is this, and where did you get it?

Did you try moving Emacs to a local disk?  Did it help?

You have omitted the first line of what go32-v2 prints.  I don't think
it matters in this case, but please try to avoid such omissions.
